Highlight of working at M2005: The highlight for me has been twofold. Firstly having the opportunity to learn AUSLAN and work alongside Deaf staff members. This has improved my communication skills and provided me with an awareness of the Deaf community that that previously I did not have. The second highlight has been having the chance to work on an international sporting event that has such a long and proud history.
Expectations at Deaflympics: I'm not 100% sure what to expect, and that is what is making the event very exciting for me. Melbourne 2005 Deaflympic Games Ltd has taken a very innovative and professional approach to these Games. I feel extremely privileged to be working on what will be a ground breaking event, not only for the Deaflympic Games and the Deaf community, but also for the wider population of Victoria and Australia.
